The Great West Window by Peter K. Burian
York as a whole, and particularly the Minster, has a long tradition of creating beautiful stained glass. Some of the stained glass in York Minster dates back to the 12th century.

The Minster's records show that much of the glass (white or colored) came from Germany. Upon arrival at York, it was intricately painted, fired, then glazed together with lead strips into the windows.
